    The best way to find the good theme designer who charges at minimum cost is ,
    Finding the best designed free wordpress theme author and asking him for custom wordpress theme because most of the free wordpress theme designers charges at unbelievable lower price

    most of the Readymade premium theme starts from the price tag of 50$ so if you have found the custom wordpress theme designer at the price of 50$ that will be better deal

    This is not meant that i am recommending premium themes than free one, i would like to say that giving the 50$ for the custom theme is better deal because even the premium ready-made themes start from the price tag of 50$.

    In my opinion most of the free word press themes works better than the paid one in terms of simplicity, SEO, blog load time and much more

    Yes, you are right. premium themes are often very powerful, like CMS theme. I don't like that kind of theme, I love simple theme too.

    What I've found with buying themes online, it's hard for the non tech-savvy person to customize it. Is there a service for that?

    If you can find suitable paid theme, go for it.
    If not, find the best free theme concerning the structure of layout that you wish to have and then just find someone to customize the design layout and you can maybe get it even under $50, depends on how much changes you require.
